Turning characters into characters.
From the weird to the whimsical, Aleks Bokova creates worlds brimming with wonder – and Kilotype wanted one for its brand new typeface
For Aleks, Plastique was more than just a font. It was another chance to prove the power of personification. It was about bringing a brand to life, infusing its product with personality and designing a world entirely of its own.
Putting a pencil in the hands of her inner child, she developed a playground of colourful 3D characters. Experimenting with textures, lighting and materials, the skilled animator produced a series of spirited characters, complete with individual traits and temperament, for the award-winning type publisher.
Kilotype’s brief allowed Aleks to follow her artistic instincts – to the letter. Playing to her strengths, she produced a striking showcase of shapes that tests the limits of the imagination.
“The magic came from bringing all those colourful shapes to life, and treating each letter as if it had its own personality. I wanted the letters and toys to feel like characters in this playful little universe, each adding to the sense of wonder. “
